Instructions for Facilitator

This version of session 2 is the preferred option for delivery. By visiting an A Set and the checklist encourge Participants to identify differences between the MILL, OSCAR or HRC and the A Set. If the session is not conducted on the PPTV it is important to indicate components or systems that will not be functioning on the PPTV. Conduct of the Session The Participants should be given the related operator manuals to their experience and when the group is in the best location on the train, asked to read the manuals for a specific system. Ask various Participants to outline: What is the system on MILL, OSCAR or HRC What is the system on a Waratah A Set What are the differences, if any? Direct the questions to various Participants. Use redirective questions to increase participation. When their assessment is presented, ask for the other Participants to comment. You may want to ask: Do you agree? Do you have any questions on that groups assessment? Is there any issue with that system that needs answers?

if it is a technical issue ask the Train Captain to respond

if it is a RailCorp issue ask the Principal Driver to respond

if no one can answer the question, record the question for followup

Use the same methodology for Dead Tow procedures and EM Coupler. When reconfirming the layout in the cab, have the crew take turns in their relative seats, ask them to confirm the location of various components, use questioning to confirm responses are correct and redirection of questions to keep other Participants engaged in the session. Have the Participants refer to the DRAFT Train Operator Manual during the session Participants share their views back to the whole group.

This version of session 2 is the alternate option for delivery. By having the Participants undertake group activities, review and present their assessment of the comparison between trains will promote maximum participation and engagement of the experienced crew in the learning. Conduct of the Session In this session it is important that you inform the Participants what you want them to do for each form of review. The Facilitator is to ask the Participants what previous trains they have operated and then group them into either MILL, OSCAR or HRC. Give each group that Train Operator Manual and the Waratah A Set Operator Manual. Give each group different systems to review, the time they have to undertake ther review. When the time has expired ask each group at a time to present their assessment back to the class. Direct the other groups to follow the response in the DRAFT Waratah A Set Operator Manual. The groups presentation should outline: What is the system they are reviewing and the page

number in the DRAFT Waratah A Set Operator Manual where it can be found.

What are the trains they are comparing What are the similarities, differences, or points of

importance to note? When their assessment is presented. Ask for the other groups to comment. You may want to ask: Do they agree? How does that relate to your experience? Do they have any questions on that groups assessment? Is there any issue with that system that needs answers?

if it is a technical issue ask the Train Captain to respond

if it is a RailCorp issue ask the Principal Driver to respond

if no one can answer the question, record the question on the noteboard for followup

Rotate through the groups following the process and once they have all presented and the group response activity has completed, ask them to now review the next group of systems. Participants share their views back to the whole group.



Train Familiarisation- Group Activity Option

Hand out the Train Operating Manuals

Introduction

Explain: The conduct of the session

Group yourselves based on trains you have experience on, MILL, OSCAR or HRC.

One of you from each group is to grab the manuals for your train type.

You are to review various systems between the train you have experience on, and the A Set

List on the Desk Easels the differences When asked, explain to the course Participants

and the Facilitator, the system you reviewed, the page reference in the A set manual and the similarities, differences, points of importance you identified and/or the implication it has to crewing on the PPTV. These should be at both Driver and Guard perspective.

Comparison of systems and components Allow 60 minutes

Give each group a system group to review and present back to the course.

Rotate and provide additional system groups until all are covered. Once the first system group has been covered, have the groups complete the same process for the second system group, etc.

N/A. This is an information session conducted by the Facilitators.





Your role is to facilitate this session as a discussion on the Minimum Operating Standard and TWPs that will apply to the PPTV. It is up to the RailCorp trainers to facilitate this session by highlighting only the differences to existing TWPs. You may wish to invite the Train Captain to participate if available. Conduct of the Session In this session it is important that you inform the Participants what you want them to do for each form of review. The Participants should be given the PPTV TWPs/Minimum Standards and told to consider the requirement, what actions are involved and who is responsible for what. Inform them of how much time they have to undertake their assessment and that you will then ask various Participants to present their assessment back to the class. They may if they wish, write down their points on the easel. The presentation should outline: What is the situation in the documents What actions are required of crew and the Train

Captain? Who is responsible for what? When their assessment is presented. Ask for the other groups to comment. You may want to ask: Do they agree? Do they have any questions on that groups

assessment? Is there any issue with that problem that needs

answers? if it is a technical issue ask the Train Captain to

respond if he is present f it is a RailCorp issue ask the Principal Driver

to respond if no one can answer the question, record the

question on the noteboard for followup Use questioning technique including redirection to increase participation.

Item / Resources

Introduce Assessment

Introduce the assessment.

Tell Participants they are going participate in a scenario based assessment covering the session taught.

Purpose of Assessment

Explain the reason for assessment in RailCorp.

The goal of these assessment it to confirm you have gained competency against the following learning outcomes :

Identify the location and function of components and equipment on the PPTV which vary from Identify the location and function of components and equipment on the PPTV which vary from MILL, OSCAR or HRC

Understand the roles and responsibilities of Train Captain and crew while working on and around the PPTV.

This assessment helps us to make sure that you are progressing towards the course goals; that all of you have developed these skills and confidence to progress to Day 2 where you will operate the PPTV.

Assessment Procedure

Guidance

The candidates must complete the assessment as a crew of Driver and a Guard. Each must however write down their response and then present their answers in turn.

You will need to provide each person with the scenarios and paper to write down their responses. Ensure they write their name on the top of the papers and the scenario number.





Item / Resources

Running a Feedback Session Handling NYC

Each Group will be given 2 scenarios to work through and 15 minutes to develop their solution. They are to work on their individual solution. Once the development time is up the responses are to be handed to the Assessor.

Each crew will be called into a room or to a location, given their responses back and then asked to present their solution to the Assessor.

Each candidate will have 2 minutes to present their solution (Driver then Guard Action). The Facilitator/Assessor will check their response against the marking guide.

The Assessor can ask question to seek clarity to the information provided and/or to moderate the responses. Moderated responses are to be added to the written responses.

When all of the groups have presented their solutions the Assessor will conduct a feedback session to the candidates on all of the scenarios. This is done by selected a number of scenarios and correct responses. Have the owner of the response read out their responses. Discuss the response with the group and point out key points to remember.

Where a candidate has not provided sufficient evidence in their response the Assessor may:

Give them a new scenario to work through and represent or

Orally question them against a new scenario to draw evidence of competence





Item / Resources

Guidance on Conduct of Assessment

Prepare assessment forms so there is a front and second page and 2 scenarios per candidate. Pack them into crew groups with scenarios 1 and 2 for the first group and then so on.

Issue assessment forms and paper to crew groups.

Read out the Guidance to Candidates

Use effective questioning technique to probe the information provided to gauge the depth of understanding of their role and relationship with the Train Captain and operation of the train. The questions may include as examples:

If the Train Captain had a different assessment than you, then what authority would you state to support your position?

How did you come to that conclusion? If the Train Captain asked you to proceed to the

next station what would be some of your safety considerations and how would you monitor those?

As the Guard on the train, did you consider any options that may assist in resolving the problem?

If you thought of that alternative or solution how would you have communicated that to the Driver or Train Captain?

Once you are satisfied that sufficient evidence has been gathered from the crew on that scenarios, rotate to the next crew and apply the same process.

Once all the groups have presented their solution to their scenarios Provide feedback to all candidates on all of the scenarios.
